At the start of the video, a group of friends were walking around the neighborhood, ringing people's doorbells and running away. As the child called Jacksen approached a door instead of ringing the doorbell, he decided to leave a message for the doorbell camera. “If you can see me, then you count, okay?

One of the boys walked over and pressed the button. doorbell even though Jacksen tried to stop it.

The boy was about to turn away and leave himself, but he returned and continued his message. “Ignore them, they’re losers. They're abandoning you, I'm just trying to say something nice. Like I didn't know what they were doing, they were running away and all that. I'm just trying to say that you matter, man or girl, whoever you are, you matter to someone. Keep that in mind, don’t forget it,” the teen said as he walked away.

What if I said something nice? Maybe they need to hear it.

I'm so proud of you,” she told her son. However, she is not surprised since her son told her that he would defend children who are victims of exclusion.
